VIA Law & Crime

An officer spoke to murder victim Madison Mogen on the phone after a guest told officers that no residents were present at the house during the party. Authorities said the footage is unrelated to the Idaho student murders investigation.
Theories Behind the Delayed 911 Call
Papa Rogers Theory: That the User Was BK or Someone Closely Involved in the Investigation Sharing What (at the time) Were Unknown Details of The Crime
Assumed to be posts from BK’s profile in 2011 on a forum for people that suffer from visual snow (submissions have since been deleted from the website as most other online footprints of BK have)
VISUAL SNOW: (VS) is a form of visual hallucination that is characterized by the perception of small, bilateral, simultaneous, diffuse, mobile, asynchronous dots usually throughout the entire visual field, but it can be partial, and it is present in all conditions of illumination, even with the eyes closed
